Alexis Sanchez unveiled by Manchester United

“ George Best, Bryan Robson, Eric Cantona, David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo have worn the No.7 shirt in the past”

The 29-year-old Chilean superstar has joined the club on a four-and-a-half year contract and will earn around £300,000-a-week.

His arrival from Arsenal has seen out-of-favour Armenian midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan move in the opposite direction as a direct swap deal.

Sanchez has been given the United No.7 shirt, and is the first player to wear it since Memphis Depay was sold to Lyon last January.

The No.7 shirt has a glorious history and was worn by George Best, Bryan Robson, Eric Cantona, David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo in the past.

However, the last four players to wear it have been Michael Owen (2009-12), Antonio Valencia (2012-13), Angel Di Maria (2014-15) and Depay (2015-17) - none of whom have covered themselves in glory while in possession of the iconic number.
